Convert HH:MM:SS into seconds


Hi All,

I have one field named "Duration" which contains the time values in HH:MM:SS format (like 00:12:36). I want to convet these values in Seconds. Please suggest me.

Thanks.

Hi

Do you want to format it to display seconds (assuming Duration is a valid time value?

     =Interval(Duration, 'ss')

Or assuming it is a string?

     =Interval(Time#(Duration), 'HH:MM:SS'), 'ss')

Or do you want to convert it to seconds (assuming it is a valid time value)

     =Duration * 86400

Or convert it (assuming it is a string)

     =Time#(Duration, 'HH:MM:SS') * 86400
